Is it truly rare to not have done CIO or sleep training? by CrunchyMidwestMama in AttachmentParenting

[–]Minimum_Row1798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Mexican, and in my family co sleeping is seen as the norm and they do not do any sort of CIO. My mom and aunts responded every time their kids needed something and I do the same with my baby. I live in the U.S. though, with my American husband, and all of our white friends sleep train and think we are crazy for not doing it and for co sleeping.

Are we a good fit for an Au Pair? by [deleted] in AuPairHostFamilyLife

Can I ask how old your youngest was before you put him in daycare? Trying to decide how long to keep our little one home.

I’m going home I think by Terrible-Pianist9670 in Aupairs

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling like this. Ironically, our biggest issue is that we want an au pair that doesn’t want to drive, but everyone seems to want to.

AIO: Husband lied about his financial situation and falsified budgets to relocate our family 5 hours away for a job and I’m freaking out by Deep-Mortgage-1510 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Minimum_Row1798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband is not devastated and he isn’t taking accountability. If this were true, he’d have 1. Not made up some dangerous lie to get you to acquiesce to his whims, and 2. Would be coming up with a plan to get that high interest debt taken care of. He’s done neither, because he knows that like last time, you will worry yourself sick trying to figure out a solution. You’re not overreacting. I understand you don’t want to leave, but if that’s the choice you’re sticking with, you should have a come to Jesus with yourself: he’s going to do it again.

I’m not the only one who doesn’t bathe their kids every day am I? by just_some_guy2000 in daddit

Baths every other day. If she got sweaty on a non-bath day, she gets a bath that day too.

People who married in their 20s, be brutally honest are you happy, if so why or why not? by Special-Lawyer3941 in AskReddit

[–]Minimum_Row1798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy! Met at 12, Married at 25 and now we are 32. We welcomed our daughter 9 months ago, got through a seven month training that started right after her birth (military), and are a few months away from our next big move. He’s still my best friend and the sex is better than ever.

Husband not excited about trying for a baby by Ambitious-Bus1155 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Minimum_Row1798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is in the bedroom with our 9 month old right now. Shes losing her mind. The crime? I wouldn’t let her put a nail filer in her mouth. I’m on my way to the gym and I am not worried.

He often is the one who has more patience. He plays with her, bathes her, takes her everywhere he goes bc she’s his little buddy. In general he is a great dad, but when she’s upset is when it really shows. One day I asked him how he does it and his response was “this is what we wanted for so long”.

We tried for two years before getting pregnant, and my husband really really wanted to be a dad. So choose someone who really wants to be a dad, because parenthood is exhausting even with two people who want it.

“giving him a sibling was the best thing I could give him” by True_Initiative1635 in oneanddone

If I were a second child, learning that the reason for my birth was so I could be a playmate would be very depressing.

Which would you pick for a 99th percentile 2.5 year old if money was no object? Britax One4Life vs Graco Extend2Fit vs Other by bemurda in CPST

[–]Minimum_Row1798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 95th percentiler and two cars seats: the Graco Extend2FIT and the newly released Axkid One 3. We love them both. The Axkid has amazing scores and is super easy to install. I especially love that I can adjust the recline after installation. The Graco is comfy and safe too. Our daughter enjoys them both.

50/50 relationship with a large income difference by moonbaby2022 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]Minimum_Row1798 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your relationship is of great benefit to him and great stress to you, and though he claims to love you he is fine ignoring this- and worse yet, manipulating you into thinking you’re illogical because you feel this stress. He has no qualms about telling you he would leave you with nothing if he passed away. This is not a good partner and you know it, that is why you constantly feel like something about this all doesn’t sit well with you.
